ST. E THE BEST PARISH!!! (That was probably the least important part of this, but it had to be said lmao). This was truly magnificent. Range is something that opens you up in a way that you could never ever get from any other experience. And sometimes it comes simply from a hello and being open to connecting, before you even have to do any leaps to try to explore on your own. It means so much to me that the life I’ve experienced has taken me on a journey that could have closed me off, but trying to open the doors and finding new centers have saved me time and time again. I feel like they’re portals to pieces of you that you would’ve never known otherwise. And then you get to use those pieces as anchors when you need them — even in the smallest ways. Sometimes they’re not tangible and only live in your memories and that’s just enough to keep on going. It’s like when James Baldwin said you think you’re alone in your experiences until you read and see people have been living pieces of your life since the beginning of time and now you’re connected to anyone who has ever lived. (That’s not what he said that was my interpretation lmao) Anyways! I’m chatting now, so cheers to a good/full life and to the overall sentiment of, “it’s gonna be alright”.

That's a good question, I don't have an answer to just yet, but I guess it depends on what someone defines as a "fully lived life", and what that entails. Perhaps a bit of deep introspection, through experiences and connections over time helps you to arrive to that conclusion.
